Macroscopic aspect of the OD surface of the sleeve (top of the figure), and a macrography of a longitudinal section (bottom of the figure). In the right side of the figure it is possible to see that the lack of sealing is associated to the detachment of the thermal spray surface layer.

ML00123 — Non Qualified Superduplex for SubseaM - Super Duplex Stainless SteelP - BarAp - Oil and GasCd - Not according to spec
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the forged bar in the center of the thickness. Ferrite and austenite. The average austenite spacing is 80 microns, a lot larger than the maximum allowed in the specification, of 30 microns. No detrimental phases were identified at the ferrite/austenite interfaces, but the ferrite phase presented a rough aspect. Higher magnification analysis would be required to identify precipitation.

Macrography of the fitting to tubing welded joint. The internal surface of the fitting (left side) is rough compared to the internal surface of the tubing (right side). The cracking is located only in the fitting and presented no association with the welded joint.
